Codes associated with photobiomodulation
A plain-English reference for the CPT and HCPCS codes practitioners ask about. Reference only. Coverage is never guaranteed, and most clinics run this as a cash-pay service.
Please read: coverage is not guaranteed
This information is provided for general reference only. Reimbursement and coverage vary by payer, plan, and region and are NOT guaranteed. Red light therapy is often provided as a cash-pay service. TheraLuma does not guarantee insurance reimbursement. Verify coverage and coding with the specific payer.
Infrared therapy
A physical medicine and rehabilitation modality covering the application of infrared light to one or more areas. It is a supervised modality, meaning it does not require constant provider attendance.
Infrared modalityLow-level laser or light therapy
Application of a modality requiring constant provider attendance, using low-level laser or light, to one or more areas, billed in 15 minute increments. S codes are payer-specific and are not recognized by all plans.

TheraLuma does not guarantee insurance reimbursement. Verify coverage and coding with the specific payer.
In practice, most clinics run red light therapy as a straightforward cash-pay service. It keeps pricing simple for patients and revenue predictable for the practice, with no dependence on payer coverage. Treat any coding above as a starting point to verify with the payer, never as a promise of payment.
Build a simple cash-pay add-on
The FlashHeal makes red light a repeatable, hands-free service you own, collected at the point of care.
